The Quest Team takes the Dragonfly from Anchorage, Alaska to the Sea of Okhotsk in the North Pacific to visit Professor Erikson. It's taken down by General Vostok using a weapon called the Bifrost Effect which freezes up all the avionics. The Quest Team escapes on the Quest Snowcat as the Dragonfly crashes and is destroyed. Jonny is sad about the end of Dragonfly, and Race jokes that it has a low deductible. (General Winter)

Notes/trivia

• The Dragonfly wasn't named in the original series, but that is the name Doug Wildey used for it off-screen. It's first named in The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest season 2.
• The Dragonfly is notable for appearing in the opening and closing theme music, with the opening also showing inside the cockpit where the team sit and get a close-up of each of them (including Bandit) with their names typed at the bottom of the screen in white.
• The first episode of the 1980's series, Peril of the Reptilian, alludes to the Dragonfly, when Dr. Quest uses a new jet.
• Its inclusion in season two of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest was Lance Falk's attempt to bring the series closer to the original. He used the name Dragonfly to honor original series creator, Doug Wildey, who gave it that name off-screen.
  • The original series would only show the cockpit, presumably due to limited budget, but the Real Adventures was able to show some of them sitting at the back, entering and leaving, along with smaller vehicles stored, as well.
• It was called the Quest Jet in the direct-to-video film, Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest.
• A Dragonfly model kit was released in 2014 by Moebius Models.
